He has completed his coursework and is now preparing for his Ph.D. exams this coming Winter quarter.

He has extensive teaching experience at the university level. At UW, he has taught ENGL 131, with emphases on diversity and multiculturalism, and ENGL 111, with sections on cyberpunk fiction, everyday media, and Harry Potter. He has taught GIS 140: Writing Ready last summer, and this summer, he tutored for a similar program for student athletes. Prior to coming to UW, he taught English 101: Introduction to Academic Writing at the University of Maryland for a total of eight years while he worked on his Master's in English. In total, Ed Chang has taught thirty sections of English 101. In addition to the standard ENGL101 class, he has taught sections for the Honors program, for the First Year Focus program, and for the College Park Scholars program. He has also taught sections of ENGL 101X for English as a second-language students. He has received consistent and excellent evaluations from students, peers, and supervisors.

While at UMD, he also served as a graduate academic advisor for the Division of Letters and Sciences, which serves freshmen and sophomores who are undecided or applying to a limited enrollment major. Furthermore, he taught UNIV100: The Student and the University, a transition course for incoming freshmen, for Division of Letters and Sciences. In the summer of 2005, he taught a three-week, intensive ENGL101 preparatory course for the Scholastic Transitions Educational Program (STEP).
